Linux and Unix really isn't all that different when using command line... you get yourself a book on UNIX administration, and you can guarantee that most things in it -will- work on most Linux systems... though the layout of files will differ from system to system.

It's really when you start getting into the GUI desktop environments, then it starts getting different, like GNOME or KDE...

yes, that's true, because unix is like windows, commercial os, but what da hek u talking about that linux is no so much stable like unix??
MacOS X uses linux kernel? how come that they decided to use linux kernel instead of using some commercial kernels? because linux supported G4 and other processors, so it's all about support for devices, processors, linux is much unix like, it has all funcionality like unix, the only difference is that u don't have some commercial aplications for linux, like MS office for linux. Once i installed MS Explorer, on Solaris (SUN OS 5.6), and it's worked better than Netscape Navigator.
It was 5 years ago, Netscape didn't supported CSS, and Explorer did, and Explorer really worked better and faster than Netscape navigator on unix. So, it's all about writing good software, i use evry kind of OS, windows is most common, but i also like very much linux, for networking, and unix. MAC OS for graphic, because it's made for DTP

, and really great for that

Linux Is Not UniX

thats where the name comes from. Unix is older, much older than Linux so you can't really say Linux is more stable. FreeBSD is probably one of the most stable systems out there and a favorite of corporate servers.

But I could never get used to the small differences between the two and always ended up using Linux.

edit: ah you mention gentoo pbrugge, now that is an impressive distro!
